(IsraelNN.com) Leading United States Republican and former Governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee toured Jerusalem neighborhoods on Monday. In response to questions regarding the Obama administration's push to end Jewish construction in majority-Arab neighborhoods, Huckabee said forced segregation between Jews and Arabs would make peace impossible.
"We tried that in the United States. We had neighborhoods that were all white, black people couldn't go there. It didn't work out real well for us, he explained.

Apparently Huckabee doesn't agree.
Certainly more articulate than McCain! and a great sense of humor to boot, just like Reagan.

Does that meen you think Jews should be segregated? Or are you simply trying to distract attention from the topic of the article?
I'm sure that's why the living standards of Arabs in Israel are the highest in the world. The Israeli Arab population standing at around 20%, more Arabs in Israel, where Arabic is one of two legal languages, than non-Christians in the US.
I'm sorry, your statement is false, there's no equivalency.
I acknowledge you probably dislike Huckabee, thus he's wrong when he's right.
He’s gotta serve somebody. lol
This may come as a shock, but there are Americans who believe segregation was a bad thing. An evil America corrected. Thus one we shouldn't be advocating elsewhere. That's not denigrating America.
Or like many freepers denigrate Mormons and Jews. I agree.
His point is that we're advocating apartheid today, in 2009. It's not an American value, at least to many of us.
IMO he's more pro-Israel than Reagan. Reagan was in his heart, things are more problematical when it comes to setting policy.
I'm your age asshat and from Jackson Mississippi and I can say you are unequivocally completely full of shit on that remark.
Friggin Drunk with PC idiot.
and btw genius...just what percentage of black neighborhoods in this wonderful post racial world we now inhabit can a white man or woman enter safely after dark ?
or even some in broad daylight....
i knew he was too goofy...i was right...i was warned (tm)
you have no idea what you are talking about...
Nope. I mean that you don’t “integrate” with people whose goal is to slaughter you.
I stick with my premise. Huckabee is too stupid to be president.
I totally agree with you. He would fit right in with the European Christian Democrats.
I hope he stays with FNC for a very, very, very, very long time...the rest of his life, even. ;o)
nutty..yes there was segregation but where does Huckadoofuss think blacks went to work in that time?
duh...crackerville maybe?
Not this Freeper. I don’t denigrate anyone but the lib politicians who are destroying this country. I do NOT turn on our own. However I will never vote for Romney because he’s a fake, just as Jim Robinson points out in that YouTube video on many of these pages, where Romney boasted about being pro-choice.
Huckabee is prolife — maybe that’s the REAL reason you don’t like him, eh?
I’m sorry your brain is so addled you cannot comprehend my logic and facts.
:)
hints:
segregation continues and it's mostly outside the South now unchanged from always and but it's more often voluntary...when i lived in Manhattan, blacks and latinos were quite segregated.
race riots?, well who do you think are the ones rioting....it ain't the melanin challenged.
lynchings were of whites too and gosh believe it or not did not always involve the killing of innocents nor was it always a political tool
Huckabee whom I usually like on cultural issues outside of his love of a guest worker program was DEAD WRONG about that blacks could not go in some neighborhoods (I only ever saw that up north in Howard Beach and Bensonhurst). Yes Virginia, we had separate eating, bathrooms, water fountains, schools (they were much better then btw regardless), buses, movie balconies, etc and blacks were often limited in voting by all sorts of chicanery but I never saw them prohibited from entering a neighborhood. That is preposterous. That is where they worked and whites depended on them.
Huckabee like many here got a bit carried away being so sensitive about race and oppression.
and don't get me started on the insane notion that blacks in America during Jim Crow were anything like the Insane Muzzie Posse the Israelis have to deal with. Blacks back in those days were much much more amenable, gracious and affectionate to non blacks than today and not hardly hostile to whites at all (except Skip gates mom)...there is no comparison to Palis who bomb toddlers birthday parties.
I believe in frank truthful observation. Constructing political paradigms from empirical observation of what is actually happening or has happened was a cornerstone of conservatism once.
Political correctness over race has usurped that and Huckabee has drank the snake oil.
Respectfully...my brain is not addled. My IQ is still higher than fearless leader's before last open heart...slipped a bit since though
